Jobs Running Way Too Many Times

Post by ueberyak » Tue Nov 17, 2015 4:39 pm

I am having an issue where jobs which are only scheduled to run one time, once a day, are running over and over. They kick off at the scheduled time, complete the entire script, then instead of stopping, they run over and over until I intervene. Today a job sent out 300 emails before I got into the office! There doesn't seem to be a pattern to this issue, either. I have had three or four different scripts do this now. EDIT: None of the scripts have any loop logic in them that could have gone haywire.

I am running 14.0.10 on Windows 7 Enterprise, 64 bit, 12gb of RAM, over 300gb of free disk space, all on a computer dedicated to running scripts and nothing else. All of my scripts are saved on the local drive. I do not have a tight job schedule that might cause one job to somehow jam up another like this (I'm not even sure that makes sense anyway).

I know there are a lot of things that could theoretically be at play here, but I'm hoping somebody has seen this before or it's a known bug, etc.
Thanks,
Josh

Hi,

Don't know of any specific bug but that version is more than two years old. Have a look at:

I'd try updating and see if that sorts it.

It's vintage, innit!

I'll look into an update.
Thanks,
